Arcane Exp Grinder


The Arcane Exp Grinder is one of the fastest ways to obtain high Exp levels. Master the enchantments and try out for yourself powerful tools like Fortune III, Silk Touch I, Efficiency IV, Sharpness V, Fire Aspect II, and much, much more.

Ever wonder how people get so rich? Ever wanted to dominate in PVP? You have credits, you've got diamonds. Now all you need is Exp.

The Spawners

The Arcane grinder is one of the best. It features not only two, but three spider spawners. When you grind here, you are never waiting for the next mob. You are constantly killing spiders as they spawn. All of the caves around the spawner area have been lit up to allow maximum spawning inside the grinder.

The grinder is a two minute walk from spawn city, using a nether road, of course. Very easy to get to from spawn!

The grinder was built by Jackavsfan and Hydrobud.

Benefits of a Spider Grinder

Some people claim zombies are the best mob to grind. Here at Arcane, we disagree. Spiders are far superior. For example, while grinding you receive inventories of string (4 stacks string=1 stack white wool) and plenty of spider eyes. The eyes provide food in case you've run out, and the string/wool can easily be sold (You will pay off the cost of swords and actually profit while grinding.) You will easily produce double-chest fulls of wool if you grind enough, which is worth anywhere from 6,000-10,000 Credits in itself.

The Enchantments!

This is where you get the bang for your buck. Enchantments are extremely powerful. You can dominate the nether with PvP enchantments, or split a diamond into four with an enchanted pick. And you can bet yourself a good pickaxe or sword will last ages; far longer then it took to enchant.

Take a look at some of the enchantments and their worth:

Fortune III 8,000 - 18,000 Credits
The infamous Fortune III enchantment. Coupled with unbreaking III, this thing will last bloody ages. You can turn two diamonds into eight, or one lapis ore into twenty-five.

Silk Touch I 5,000 - 7,000 Credits
Silk Touch is an amazingly useful pickaxe. You can double the value of diamond ore by silk-touching it; you can pick up glowstone blocks without risking losing them. Grass blocks and mycelium now become usable blocks. Everyone should own one of these.

Sharpness IV 5,000 - 20,000 Credits
Sharpness 4 is an incredibly powerful sword, even more so when Fire Aspect II is included. Ever wonder how you died in 3 hits when you are wielding full diamond armor? Now you know how it's done. When coupled with Fire Aspect this sword is worth more then a realm. If you get knock back II on there, you are looking at 15,000. If you're one of those lucky people, and enchant a Sharpness V, Fire II sword, you just earned 20,000+ in one go.

Protection IV 5,000 - 35,000 Credits
So, you just got into a fight with the best PvPer from here to Trinity. Normal armor isn't going to cut it against sharpness IV. You need something better; Protection IV armor. This isn't any normal armor. It's incredibly powerful. Fall in lava wearing this armor and you won't even take half a heart. The legendary Sharpness IV sword only deals a single half heart of damage. Enderpearls now only take half a heart when teleporting. Instant Damage II potions only deal one heart instead of four. Tl;dr, you won't die in this armor.

Pricing

Prestige Pass: 25,000 Credits
Monthly Pass: 10,000 Credits
One Time Use: 1,000 Credits

You may be under the impression that 10,000 Credits it far to much! But take a glance back at the value of the enchantments. Now imagine how many times you can enchant at a high level in a month. 10,000 Credits is a steal! Also, keep in mind the one time use is meant to serve as a way to test the grinder before you decide to spend 10,000 on it.

Prestige Pass: You get one month of time, but you get a special sign with your name on it. That's right, YOUR name! Impress all the ladies!

If you are interested in using the grinder, post here or contact BridgeDweller/Agentred100 in-game.
You will be escorted through the nether to the grinder.


How it Works

The grinder will be kept locked up 24/7. People who pay for a month will be given rights so they can come and go as they please without needing anyone to open the place for them. The grinder will be locked with 3 dirt blocks at all times; and we reserve the right to remove you from the realm if you don't lock it up when you are done. (We won't be to harsh but you've got to remember to lock it!)

Also, you can't allow a friend to use the grinder. He/she will have to pay as well. This is another way we can remove your rights from the realm.

Thanks for understanding!

Try It Out!

You may have noticed the 1,000 Credit option. That's pretty much for you to come and actually try it out, test the speed of three spawners and see how you like it before you spend 10,000 credits. You can also come check it out on your own, or ask Agentred100/BridgeDweller to let you use it for a bit for free.

Realm Coords: X-3075 Z-1625

You'll have to find your way in on your own, the grinder is deep underground. Just ask an Arcane member if you need help.

Arcane Member's Rule

All Arcane members have the right of way to use the grinder. You may have to leave the grinder and allow an Arcane member to use it.

If you ever feel cheated out of paid time, or feel you have barely received any time at the grinder, contact Agentred100 or BridgeDweller. We will be happy to extend your time or give you another free month if necessary. Keep in mind the grinder is open 85% of the time. Thanks!

Looks like I'll have to find a new grinder....
It's quite a fair price, really. A month on minecraft is a long time. You would make back your money on wool if you grind enough.

Really, mining sand with a dia shovel for one hour gives you about 6,000 Credits. Do that twice and you've paid off your debt in two hours, and now you've got an entire month.

Anyhow, the idea is to have less people grinding anyway, to increase the amount of open time. People who do pay the 10k will find it's a very good use of 10k.
